“Sylvia Borenstein’s Professionalism and knowledge of family law was very impressive. She thought of ways to help my sons that I never knew existed. Like establishing Trusts that are designed for Adults that are disabled, thus allowing them to legally continue to receive state services. I also appreciated her abundance of patience with me as I have absolutely no technology skills. My lack of ordinary computer skills often gets others frustrated. She was like having a friend there for guidance as well as support. Thanks for going above and beyond! – B.H.
